Aurora police are searching a field for evidence in a 8-month-old homicide in which an Aurora woman was found dead five months after police found her boyfriend shot and killed in the couple’s apartment.

Police are using three bloodhound teams to search the field along the Cherry Creek spillway trail between Chambers and Parker roads, said Detective Bob Friel, a spokesman for the Aurora Police Department.

Friel would not say what police are searching for.

Officers are searching the field on the south side of the bike trail, which remains open to the public.

On April 7, Tiffany Durst’s decomposed body was found in the spillway, just west of South Chambers Road and south of East Yale Avenue. Details about her death have not been released.

Durst, 21, was last seen by her family on Nov. 18, four days before her boyfriend, Terence George, 22, was found shot to death at the couple’s Aurora apartment in the 12200 block of East Kepner Place.

On Nov. 21, police could not locate Durst and police released photos of Durst and George, hoping someone would contact them with information about Durst’s whereabouts.

Police found Durst’s 1996 maroon Oldsmobile Cutlass on Jan. 4, and continued searching for the woman as a “person of interest.”

On April 14, police arrested Terrence Andre McNeal, 20, Janelle Kimberly Harris, 20, and Tiera Lachae Homes, 19. Each face two counts of first-degree murder and are being held without bond.

“Since the arrest of Harris, Homes and McNeal, new information has come to light in this case,” Friel said.

Friel would not say what information led police back to the field.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office and the Wheat Ridge Fire Department provided Aurora police with the bloodhound teams.
